Democrats (especially if Clinton isn't nominated).

I don't really like what the Republicans have been doing lately.   But the Democrat party ranks second right behind the Boston Red Sox on my "people or things that totally disgust me" list.   And since all the third parties out there kind of, well suck, then I guess I'll have to say Republican.   I won't be sending the Republican party any money though like I did in 2004.

I hate the idea of one party control of the government - but I also can not abid the idea of four more years of what we are currently getting from our President. My hopes that the GOP would reject what Bush has done are too faint to even grasp at this point.

I'd love to see a serious 3rd party candidate with a real chance of winning - but that also seems to be a pipe dream at this point.

It appears I will end up voting for something I find distasteful in '08, that's a shame.

Well, A Republican victory (unless Dr. aul somehow wins the nom) would only be rewarding the GOP for straying from its limited government principles. But a Democratic victory would only be rewarding it for having big government prinicples. Libertarian it is.

i don't root for parties, b/c politics is a little bit more serious than sports--so i don't just pick teams on a whim.  of course i'll never support fascists, but that doesn't mean i'll support the democrat.  after all, i care about more than bedroom issues (especially if i'm being robbed from the kitchen).

Agreed.  Why are independents listed as a party?  For shame!  Tongue

I'm rooting for whichever candidates I think will be best.

I feel the same way. I am not sure the Republicans can regain any competency to manage the country, and if the Dem nominee is a moderate, I could vote that way. 

Or I could just say screw it and vote Libertarian. Tongue Grin

That's essentially my strategy. I like Congressman Paul and Governor Huckabee on the GOP side, not a big fan of any Democrats. So for me it's one of those two or the Libertarian.

Why Huckabee? The man is more of a populist.

Well I don't like Huckabee on the same level as say Paul or a Libertarian for that matter, but he seems like a decent enough person. Not an empty suit. But to tell you the truth, I haven't studied him as much as I should.

Definitely republican. I am very hard core republican and I would not never vote for them, especially during a war.

Democratic, because of the GOP's constant pandering to the Religious Right, deficit spending and neo-Con stances on the War on Terror. The GOP would need to nominate someone like Chuck Hagel for me to even considering voting for them.

In a way i hope the Republicans win the presidential race so the Dems can solidify their hold on both houses as whatever generic white dood screws up for a few more years.

I know Libertarians have a snowball's chance in Hell of winning, but I still gotta hope.

If Ron Paul gets the R Presidential Nom (again, snowball in Hell), I will definitely be voting R.  May even be changing registration just so I can vote in the Primary for Dr. Paul.
